One thing that annoys me immensely about the iPhone: I have about 6 "home screens," most with about 12 icons on them (out of a possible 16), organized by category. After an app. on screen 5 or 6 is updated, its icon moves to the first available space (on screen 2 for me), requiring the icon to then be tediously moved through several screens to get it back to where it was. Apple needs to make the icons stay where they are when users update their apps, for people who like to leave open spaces on their screens. (Leaving open spaces makes it easy to add an icon later to a specific screen, and it also makes it easy to move icons from screen to screen)

If you are all thumbs like I am you may accidentally hold down the Menu Pause/Play instead of the Menu - buttons to reset your Apple TV. This will disable your remote and cause the Apple TV to blink an amber light whenever the remote is pressed.
The fix is to unpair and then pair the remote.
Unpair with Menu + << for 6 seconds.
Pair with Menu + >> for 6 seconds.

Do any of you guys actually now what technology is???? seriously.

this piece of Garbage doesnt even do half the stuff most other mobile phones do standard...

1. Bluetooth - No stereo, No file transfer, No PC connectivity
2. Wifi - no Key indexing.
3. Ringtones - Must be purchase, converted then assigned to contact (rediculous compared to a nokia)
4. GPS - Costs to download maps, and required network connection, and maps do not following you path.
5. PC connection - Can only connect to one PC thats it. no mass storage access.
6. No Video Camera
7. No MMS
8. No Modem use.

All of these features are ones that I have used for several years on all my Nokia Phones, and are considered standard now. This is the biggest waste of money i have ever spent, EVER.

This is completely a Fan boy product, for people that know nothing about using real technology.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
You have all been had.

Look- no one's forcing you to buy an iPhone, you don't have to if you don't want to. The iPhone may not be the phone for everyone, some people will use, like, and prosper from an iPhone, but others may prefer alternative mobile devices such as blackberrys, palm pilots, and pocket pcs. You can go and buy a PC or typewriter, we won't stop you.

Please don't feed the troll. The post was off-topic in the first place and the guy is looking for any tenuous opportunity to gripe.
